Can you explain to me what "turn the other cheek means?" Does that mean you "turn the other cheek" if someone punches you in the mouth? Clearly. most people will fight back. Do you "turn the other cheek" if someone tries to rob you? If there is no gun or knife involved, most people will resist. Ok, I get it in a way if someone insults you or tries to belittle you? But then your reputation and character can be at stake if you "turn the other cheek."

I really don't know what "turn the other cheek means."

Now I don't think "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth" is always the best policy either. I certainly wouldn't blame Trump for going after Biden like Biden went after him. Sometimes people only learn when they suffer the consequences of their actions or come to realize in their own person that what they did to others was not right or appropriate.

That is not to say that Trump did not break the law. He certainly did. But sometimes you need to look the other way or dismiss the charges. This was primarily a politically motivated felony conviction based on retribution for all of Trump's insults while President.

Where do you draw the line in regard to this "eye for an eye" and what exactly does it apply to?
